On May 22, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved a final plat (Filing 1 of Blackstone Ranch) to create 43 lots on 30.34 acres of the 108 acre property. The approved Filing # 1 is fully developed.

On April 19, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners approved a final plat (Filing # 2A of Blackstone Ranch) to create 43 lots on 7.70 acres of the 108 acre property. On June 7, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners approved a final plat (Filing # 2B of Blackstone Ranch) to create 33 lots on 10.79 acres of the 108 acre property. Background: SUMMARY OF APPLICATION Pauls Development East, LLC is requesting a major subdivision preliminary plat for the third filing of the Blackstone Ranch subdivision. The proposed final plat consists of 163 single-family residential lots, twelve non-residential tracts, and associated public streets. Site Characteristics: The subject site is located approximately 1,500 feet southwest of the intersection of East 26 th Avenue and Strasburg Road. Currently, the property is vacant, and directly adjacent to Filings 1, 2-A, and 2-B of the previously approved final plats. The site has access to East 26 th Avenue from the north. Wagner Street borders the subject property to the east. The proposed subdivision will extend the street pattern of the adjoining filings of the Blackstone Ranch subdivision. There are nine new proposed streets in the filing (i.e. East 22 nd Place, East 23 rd Avenue, East 23 rd Place, East 24 th Avenue, East 24 th Place, East 25 th Place, Aspen Street, Wagner Street, and West Road). Development Standards and Regulations Requirements: Per Section 5-03-03 of the County s Development Standards and Regulations, subdivision plats and lot dimensions are required to conform to requirements of the zone district in which the property is located. In addition, all lots created by a subdivision shall have access to a County maintained right-of-way. The property is located in the Residential-1-C zone district. The minimum lot size allowed in the R-1-C zone district is 7,000 square feet for internal lots and 7,500 for corner lots. All proposed lots in the subject plat will conform to these requirements. In addition, all the proposed lots will have access to a public right-of-way. The proposed lots also conform to the R-1-C zone district s minimum required lot width of 65 feet for internal lots and 70 feet for corner lots. Provisions for adequate water and sewer service are required for approval of a preliminary plat. The applicant obtained a letter from the Eastern Adams County Metropolitan District stating that adequate water supply and sanitary sewer services are available to support the proposed development. Per Section 5-04 of the County s Development Standards and Regulations, public improvements are required to be constructed with the development of a subdivision. All required public improvements such as streets and drainage systems will be reviewed and constructed with the review and approval of a final plat. Per Section 2-02-17-01, a final plat is required prior to development on the property. 2

Per Section 5-02-05 of the County s Development Standards and Regulations, a Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) with applicable collateral shall be required with any applications for a final plat. The SIA will address the timing and type of improvements that are required, as well as the necessary collateral to ensure those improvements are constructed. Future Land Use Designation: The Adams County Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Urban Residential, allowing single- and multi-family housing at higher urban densities in locations that are readily accessible to urban services and transportation. Overall, the subject request is approximately three dwelling units per acre. The development will be connected to surrounding road network system, with access to major streets. The request is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan to provide higher density housing near urban services and transportation. Additionally, areas surrounding the subject site are also designated as Urban Residential future land use in the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is also located in the County s Strasburg Plan. This plan was adopted to steer development activities within the unincorporated community. The plan shows projected growth of Strasburg to 10,000-12,000 residents. This is while maintaining a small town agricultural character of the community. Per the Plan, Adams County portions of Strasburg should limit residential estate development to a density of less than one dwelling unit per acre. The proposed density for the subject request is greater than one dwelling unit per acre and consistent with the plan. In addition, the proposed preliminary plat conforms to both the Comprehensive Plan and the Strasburg Plan. Both of these plans designate the subject site for residential uses. Surrounding Zoning Designations and Existing Use Activity: Northwest A-3 Vacant West A-3 Vacant Southwest A-3 Vacant North A-2 Vacant Subject Property R-1-C Single-Family Residential South A-1 & PUD(P) Place of Worship & Park Northeast A-2 Vacant East R-1-C Single-Family Residential Southeast A-2 School 3

Compatibility with the Surrounding Land Uses: Properties to the east of the proposed subdivision are developed as single-family residential uses and are part of the Blackstone Ranch Subdivision. Strasburg Elementary School, Hemphill Middle School, and Strasburg High School are all located within 1,500 feet of the site. Additionally a neighborhood park, maintained by the Strasburg Parks and Recreation District, is located to the south of the site. The properties to the north and west consist of large tracts of vacant lands.

Exhibit 3.1 Written Explanation Explanation of the Request Blackstone Ranch is a subdivision in Strasburg, located to the South of 26th Avenue and to the West of Strasburg Mile Road. A preliminary plat was approved for the entirety of Blackstone Ranch in 2004, and a final plat for Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 1 was approved in 2006. After the County determined that the preliminary plat had expired, Pauls Development East obtained approval of a preliminary plat for Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2 in 2015, followed by final plat approvals for Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2-A and Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2-B in 2016. Homes in Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2 are currently under construction. This request is for preliminary plat approval of 163 new lots on the remaining 54.8 acres of the development, located generally to the West of Filings No. 1 and 2, to be known as Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 ( BSR 3 ). The area and dimensions of the 163 lots are compliant with the requirements of the R-1-C zone district in which the Subject Property is located. BSR 3 offers a variety of lot sizes. The general layout of BSR 3 is in full compliance with the Adams County Development Standards and Regulations, and is consistent with the Adams County Comprehensive Plan and its Strasburg Plan amendment. The proposed Preliminary Plat for BSR 3 meets the criteria for approval as follows: 1. The preliminary plat is consistent with the Adams County Comprehensive Plan and any available area plan. A. ADAMS COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BSR 3 is consistent with the Adams County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development provides relatively compact, urban residential development in an area that is designated for such development, and adequate public facilities and services are currently available or will be available at the time of development. B. STRASBURG PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE ADAMS COUNTY AND ARAPAHOE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLANS ( STRASBURG PLAN ) 1. Applicability of Strasburg Plan. The property upon which BSR 3 is proposed (the SUBJECT PROPERTY ) is within the boundaries of the Strasburg Plan. 2. Consistency with Future Land Use Designation. The Strasburg Plan map replaces the countywide future land use plan in the Strasburg planning area. The Strasburg Plan map designates the land use of the Subject Property as Residential. The proposed single-family detached use of the Subject Property is consistent with the Residential land use category. 3. Consistency with Goals and Policies. a. General. The general goal of the Strasburg Plan is to maintain the small town, agricultural character. Strasburg is planned for a population of 10,000 to 12,000 by 2020, with most development to occur within the urban growth area adjacent to the existing community, and with a target of 70 percent residential and 30 percent

Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 Preliminary Plat Application Explanation of the Request Page 2 of 6 commercial and industrial development. BSR 3 is within the urban growth boundary and advances the stated general goal and related policies of the Strasburg Plan. b. Housing. The housing goal of the Strasburg Plan is that new housing should be high quality, be offered in a variety of price ranges and types, and contribute to the small town, rural character. BSR 3 is consistent with the housing goal in that it is within the Strasburg urban growth boundary and it offers a variety of lot sizes that will tend to encourage diversity in design and price. c. Facilities and Services. The facilities and services goal is to ensure that adequate facilities and services, including utilities, schools, parks, public safety, and other necessary facilities and services are available at the time of development. Implementing policies call for proof that utilities, schools, parks, public safety and other facilities and services are or will be available. The BSR 3 application includes the requisite proof. d. Open Space. The open space goal is to provide a generous amount of public and private open space to support the recreational needs of local residents and business people, wildlife habitat, the small town, rural character and continued agricultural production in the area. Implementing policies require sidewalks and trails, easements for drainageways, and dedication of designated agricultural and park lands. BSR 3 is consistent with this policy. It will include sidewalks, trails, drainageways, and perimeter open space. It will provide appropriate, compact residential density within the urban growth area, which helps preserve open space outside of the urban growth area. It does not contain any plan-designated agricultural or park lands. However, park land was provided in the first phase of the development, and there are recreational opportunities nearby. e. Environment. The environmental goal is that environmental quality shall be a factor that is taken into account with new development. BSR 3 will be served with centralized water and sewer facilities from East Adams County Metropolitan District, which has capacity to serve the development. Drainage plans for the subdivision will help protect water quality. BSR 3 advances the Strasburg Plan policy to accommodate anticipated population growth within the Strasburg urban growth boundary. f. Transportation. The transportation goal is to ensure that the transportation system supports planned land uses and provides options for pedestrians, bicycles, horses and other modes of travel in addition to automobiles. BSR 3 is consistent with the transportation goal and its implementing policies.

Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 Preliminary Plat Application Explanation of the Request Page 3 of 6 2. The preliminary plat is consistent with the purposes of these standards and regulations. The proposed preliminary plat for BSR 3 promotes the public health, safety, and welfare, and is therefore consistent with the purposes of the Adams County Development Standards and Regulations. 3. The preliminary plat is in conformance with the subdivision design standards and any approved sketch plan. A. SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS. The proposed preliminary plat is in conformance with the subdivision design standards: The subdivision design considers the comprehensive plan, zoning, and the area s character. It is an appropriate and context-sensitive expansion of the existing Blackstone Ranch neighborhood within Strasburg. It is compatible with adjacent land uses. It preserves the natural terrain, drainage, and topsoil to the extent possible. There are no trees, wildlife habitat, or fisheries on the Subject Property. There are no hazardous conditions or water hazards on the Subject Property or that affect the Subject Property. Noise abatement from roadways and railroads is not necessary. There is no encroachment into floodplains. The Subject Property is not affected by high groundwater. Lots are appropriately designed and configured and are accessed by roads that will be dedicated to the County. Drainage is designed according to County standards. Landscaping is planned according to County standards. Roads conform to the County transportation plan and County engineering standards, and external connections and internal circulation are appropriate. Non-vehicular facilities are provided, with connections to adjacent development. Required open space is provided. B. SKETCH PLAN. Conceptual review was conducted for BSR III; however, there is no official sketch plan for the proposed development. 4. The applicant has provided evidence that a sufficient water supply has been acquired in terms of quantity, quality, and dependability for the type of subdivision proposed, as determined in accordance with the standards set forth in the water supply standards. A will-serve letter from East Adams County Metropolitan District is included with the application materials.

Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 Preliminary Plat Application Explanation of the Request Page 4 of 6 5. The applicant has provided evidence that a public sewage disposal system has been established and, if other methods of sewage disposal are proposed, adequate evidence that such system complies with state and local laws and regulations. A will-serve letter from East Adams County Metropolitan District is included with the application materials. 6. The applicant has provided evidence to show all areas of the proposed subdivision, which may involve soil or topographical conditions presenting hazards or requiring special precautions, have been identified by the applicant and the proposed uses of these areas are compatible with such conditions. There are no known hazardous conditions on the Subject Property. 7. The applicant has provided evidence that adequate drainage improvements comply with these standards and regulations. Adequate drainage facilities are planned for BSR 3. Copies of preliminary drainage plans and a general narrative describing the pertinent drainage characteristics of the Subject Property are included with the application materials. 8. The overall density of development within the proposed subdivision conforms to the zone district density allowances. The Subject Property is part of a roughly 54.8-acre parcel of land in the R-1-C zone district. The density of the R-1-C zone district is limited by the minimum lot area and minimum lot width requirements. R-1-C zoning allows for 7,000 square foot, 65-foot wide internal lots, and 7,500 square foot, 70-foot wide corner lots. 1 All lots are consistent with these minimum requirements. 9. The proposed subdivision is compatible with the surrounding area, harmonious with the character of the neighborhood, not detrimental to the immediate area, not detrimental to the future development of the area, and not detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the inhabitants of the area and the County. The proposed subdivision has established an adequate level of compatibility by: A. INCORPORATING NATURAL PHYSICAL FEATURES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND PROVIDING SUFFICIENT OPEN SPACES CONSIDERING THE TYPE AND INTENSITY OF USE; 1 Sec. 3-13-07-02-01 provides that corner lots may be 70 feet wide; while Sec. 3-07-02, Summary of Dimensional Requirements, establishes the minimum width at 75 feet. Based on the text of Sec. 3-07-02, which advises the reader to confirm the zone district requirements, and the County s prior interpretation with respect to Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2, we assume that Sec. 3-13-07-02-01 controls the conflict.

Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 Preliminary Plat Application Explanation of the Request Page 5 of 6 The Subject Property is a former farm field that is essentially uniform in grade and contains no notable natural features. As the third (and last) phase of Blackstone Ranch, BSR 3 incorporates and extends the perimeter buffers that were created in the first and second phases, continues the generally East-West street pattern (creating Southern exposures for nearly all of the homes in the subdivision), and includes access to the park and trail amenities that were constructed in the first phase. B. INCORPORATING SITE PLANNING TECHNIQUES TO FOSTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COUNTY'S PLANS, AND ENCOURAGE A LAND USE PATTERN TO SUPPORT A BALANCED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, INCLUDING AUTO, BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, PUBLIC OR MASS TRANSIT, AND THE COST EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF OTHER SERVICES CONSISTENT WITH ADOPTED PLANS, POLICIES AND REGULATIONS OF THE COUNTY; BSR 3 uses a modified grid street pattern that connects to the South utilizing Wagner Street, to the East at Strasburg Mile Road and 24 th Avenue, and to the West using a partial extension of Aspen Street, connecting to 26 th Avenue. BSR 3 s street pattern discourages cutthrough traffic, optimizes street-side delivery of public services, and provides a safe environment for local multimodal transportation. C. INCORPORATING PHYSICAL DESIGN FEATURES IN THE SUBDIVISION TO PROVIDE A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE PROJECT AND ADJACENT LAND USES THROUGH THE PROVISION OF AN ATTRACTIVE ENTRYWAY, EDGES ALONG PUBLIC STREETS, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, AND APPROPRIATE HEIGHT AND BULK RESTRICTIONS ON STRUCTURES; BSR 3 abuts existing and developing residential uses to the East. Lots along the Southern boundary of the preliminary plat are buffered between the subdivision and existing development to the South. The northern portion of BSR 3 is buffered from 26 th Avenue by a 5.4- acre westerly continuation of the 170-foot wide landscape buffer that borders Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 1. BSR 3 is the third and final phase of development of Blackstone Ranch. Filing No. 1 provided an attractive entryway at 24 th Avenue and Strasburg Road, and a significant landscape and drainage buffer along both Strasburg Road and 26 th Avenue. Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 2- B provided a connection to the South at Wagner Road. BSR 3 will continue the buffer along 26 th Avenue, and create a new connection at Aspen Street and 26 th Avenue. D. INCORPORATING IDENTIFIED ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WETLANDS AND WILDLIFE CORRIDORS, INTO THE PROJECT DESIGN; AND There are no identified environmentally sensitive areas on the Subject Property. However, some surface drainage facilities within Blackstone Ranch serve a dual purpose as multi-use pathways.

Blackstone Ranch Filing No. 3 Preliminary Plat Application Explanation of the Request Page 6 of 6 E. INCORPORATING PUBLIC FACILITIES OR INFRASTRUCTURE, OR CASH-IN-LIEU, REASONABLY RELATED TO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION SO THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION WILL NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE LEVELS OF SERVICE OF THE COUNTY SERVICES AND FACILITIES. BSR 3 incorporates public facilities, infrastructure, and payments in lieu, such that it will not negatively impact the level of service of County services and facilities.

As mentioned in your application, the request is also subject to the requirements of the Strasburg Plan. PLN02; All lots appear to conform to the required dimensional standards of the R-1-C zone district. Additionally, the building envelope of each lot appears to be suitable for development. PLN03: It should be noted that lots within Block 1 and Block 7 are considered through-lots. This will be very problematic for property owners to construct accessory structures and fences without variance. Accessory structures shall not be closer to a street right-of-way than the primary structure. Since these lots will have two frontages on opposite sides of the lot, accessory structures will be difficult to site. Additionally, fences on these lots will not be allowed to exceed 3.5 feet.

Exhibit 4.2 CGS Comments COLORADO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1801 19 th Street Golden, Colorado 80401 February 27, 2017 Greg Barnes Adams County Community & Economic Development Department 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Suite W2000 Brighton, CO 80601 Subject: Dear Mr. Barnes: Location: NW¼ NE¼ Section 33, T3S, R62W of the 6 th P.M. 39.7502, -104.3282 Blackstone Ranch, Filing 3 Preliminary Plat Project Number PLT2017-00002; Adams County, CO; CGS Unique No. AD-17-0014 Karen Berry State Geologist Colorado Geological Survey has reviewed the Blackstone Ranch Filing 3 preliminary plat referral. I understand the applicant proposes 163 residential lots on approximately 54.8 acres located southwest of 26 th Avenue and Monroe Street within the overall Blackstone Ranch Subdivision in Strasburg. With this referral, I received a Request for Comments (February 7, 2017), an Explanation of the Request (undated), and preliminary plat (Kimley-Horn, January 10, 2017). The site does not contain steep slopes, is not located within a flood hazard zone, is not undermined, and does not contain, nor is it exposed to, any identified geologic hazards that would preclude the proposed residential use and density. CGS therefore has no objection to approval of the preliminary plat as proposed. However, we have several comments: Collapsible soils. The site is underlain by relatively low density, low strength, eolian (wind-deposited) silts, clays and sands. Some of the soils are calcareous. Eolian soils, especially those containing soluble calcareous minerals, tend to be loose, fine-grained, and hydrocompactive, meaning they can lose strength, settle, compress, or collapse when water infiltrates the soils. Thick columns of compressible or collapsible soils can result in very significant settlement and structural damage. Alternatively, clay minerals and clayey pockets within the surficial soils may exhibit structurally damaging volume changes (shrink-swell) in response to changes in water content. Potentially highly expansive Denver Formation claystones and shales are present at unknown depths beneath the surficial soils. If claystone layers capable of producing high swell pressures are present within a few feet of foundation bearing depths, they can cause severe structural damage if not properly characterized and mitigated. Lot-specific geotechnical investigations consisting of drilling, sampling, lab testing and analysis will be needed, once building locations have been finalized and prior to issuance of building permits, to: determine the thickness and extent to which the soils beneath each proposed home are subject to collapse under loading and/or wetting; characterize soil and bedrock engineering properties such as density, strength, water content, swell/consolidation potential and bearing capacity; determine depths to groundwater, bedrock, and any impermeable layers that might lead to development of a perched water condition; verify the feasibility of full-depth basements, if planned; and provide earthwork, foundation, floor system, subsurface drainage, and pavement recommendations for design purposes. It is imperative that grading, surface drainage, and subsurface drainage are correctly designed, constructed and maintained to prevent wetting of potentially collapsible soils in the immediate vicinity of foundation elements.

We are in receipt of Adams County s Request for Comments dated February 7, 2017, and are writing to provide comments related to the BSR III subdivision proposal. We understand that BSR III has received will-serve letters from Eastern Adams County Metropolitan District ( EACMD ) for future water and sanitation service. SSWD has an interest in ensuring the BSR III development receives sufficient service from EACMD. Failure by EACMD to provide sufficient service could result in a future strain on SSWD s resources due to the proximity of SSWD s infrastructure to BSR III. We therefore request that the Adams County Planning Commission and its staff carefully review EACMD s resources and its capacity to serve BSR III. If the Commission determines that such capacity is insufficient, we request that the Commission require modification of the proposed project to a size that can be sufficiently served by EACMD, or that the project be denied until EACMD and PaulsCorp, LLC provide sufficient proof that water and sanitation service will be sufficient. Thank you for your consideration of SSWD s concerns. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions. Sincerely, SETER & VANDER WALL, P.C. Colin B.

This proposed development and its resultant population increase will put a significant strain upon existing park and recreation facilities in the area served by the District. Therefore, this third phase of the Blackstone Ranch Development should be considered on its own merits in determining the amount of local parks and recreation dedications or contributions of cash-inlieu required of the Developer. No credits should be given the Developer from previous dedications for earlier phases of this overall Development, particularly if the dedications involved areas granted to homeowner associations, which areas are maintained as private parks and thus not available for general public usage. 2. In addition, the overall increased impact upon existing public parks and recreation facilities, as well as recreation and fitness programs, mandates that the Developer should be held to the maximum cash-in-lieu dedication requirements for the impact upon local parks districts allowed under current Adams County zoning and development regulations. Since Blackstone Ranch, Filing 3 is an essentially new and heavy-impact development, there is no reason to permit aggregation or credit from earlier phases of this overall Development. Rather, this phase should stand alone in determining the total required local parks exactions under the Adams County Code, if the proposed use is to truly pay its own way in addressing the impacts it creates upon current taxpayers using parks and recreation facilities and programs in the Strasburg area.

Adams County Community and Economic Development March 3, 2017 Page 2 3. Finally, strong consideration must be given to strict cash-in-lieu considerations as the District currently holds sufficient real property to carry out its functions. Dedication of additional land which cannot be developed or adequately maintained, provides no benefit to local citizens and does not offset any of the impacts created by this new phase of development. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Strasburg Metropolitan Parks and Recreation District office. Thank you. Sincerely, Robert L. Tibbals, Jr. Attorney for Strasburg Metropolitan Parks and Recreation District cc: SMP&RD

Greg Barnes From: Sent: To: Subject: Exhibit 5.1 Bradley Comments Elizabeth Bradley [ebradley6905@gmail.com] Monday, February 27, 2017 3:01 PM Greg Barnes Request for Comments - Black Stone Ranch Filing No. 3 (Case #PLT2017-00002) We are providing comments regarding Blackstone Filing No. 3 for Case #PLT2017-00002 in Strasburg, Colorado. We have been living in Strasburg for 7 years, with the past five in Blackstone Ranch. The first two years we lived in Coyote Ridge and saw tremendous growth, straining school and community resources. In addition, as housing became more populated there was an increase in traffic flow, speeds, and concerns for child safety. We have again seen these same patterns in Blackstone Ranch, and have deep concerns on the volume of traffic, speed, and safety of children in the neighborhood. We requested a Children Present sign in Coyote Ridge, which was met with a small sign straight upon entrance to East 24 th Avenue. We lived on the corner of Ance Street and there was no slowing of speeds, and great safety concerns. Speed concerns in neighborhoods MUST be addressed at a larger level. These fears are compounded in Blackstone Ranch with the thought of lengthening streets, with few required stops. Signs do not help people slow down. We do not advocate for additional housing to be built in this area for the following reasons: School resources already limited with current population Theft and vandalism is already on the rise *Please pull local police reports* Safety of children crossing the street or going to bus stop Limited resources We do not advocate for ANY additional building of homes into this small community. You are tapping our resources and creating an environment that is no longer safe for our children to grow up in. Sincerely, Elizabeth and Dean Bradley Blackstone Ranch 720-988-3509 1

Greg Barnes Exhibit 52 Corley Comments From: Sent: To: Subject: Marti Corley [MCorley@ccbuildersinc.com] Monday, February 27, 2017 9:56 PM Greg Barnes Blackstone Filing No.3 Mine and my neighbors concerns are the following. 1. What is Paul s bros. going to do for Water for 200+ homes they will be building over the next year with filing 2 (Now under way) and purposed filing 3. I live in filing one and our water pressure was affected when the new water line was installed for filing 2. I have no idea how big the water main is that services the existing Blackstone Ranch and Coyote Ridge developments, Please forward that information to me along with water plans for filing 3 2. The other concerns are no green belts, or parks and all the traffic bottle necked to exit on 24 th St. 0r Wagner, You would have to want to go out of you way to use 26 th. St. as a means of egress Consideration should be given to other southerly exit possibly 23 rd to Monroe along with extending West Rd and Aspen St. or a combination of West Rd. intersecting Aspen St at the southwest corner of the development as the flow of traffic is toward downtown Strasburg or I -70. At present we have two entrances and exits (24 th & Wagner) and your allowing an additional 200 + homes to be built with no thought to egress, traffic flow,or safety I m hoping you will give our concerns much consideration, as your decisions will impact the safety and wellbeing of several hundred tax payers when all these homes are completed.

I realize that some of my comments may need to be directed to the HOA however, I do feel they affect the current builder and wanted these to be considered in your review. Comments/Questions/Concerns: 1) Detention/Drainage area located at the Southwest corner of Strasburg Road and E 26th Ave. This detention/drainage area has become a mosquito habitat during the season. As home owners this is bothersome and quite dangerous for our grandchildren who are allergic to mosquitoes. With the 43 new homes in Filing 2 (currently being constructed), the 163 homes planned in Filing 3 and the drainage that slopes to this detention/drainage area I have growing concerns of what can and will be done to prevent or alleviate stagnant water making it a mosquito breeding ground. 2) Utilities & Drainage Is there enough of a water source and for how long? Can we get the drainage to drain to a place other than the above mentioned SW corner of 26th & Strasburg? 3) Current Park area in Filing 1 Is it sufficient for over 200 homes? 4) Trails / Pathway around the community Is there enough people path & trail area, that will be maintained, for homeowners to utilize without having to cross Strasburg Road? 5) Existing roads in Filing 1 Will the existing roads in Filing 1 be re paved once Filing 2 & 3 is complete? Utility pipe was installed for Filing 2 at the 24th Street entrance and there was a lot of initial construction traffic (later was re directed to the 26th Ave entrance) however the roads may be in need of work due to the construction traffic and pipe installation. Thanks for your time and consideration. Cathy DeWolf 2490 Adams Street Strasburg CO 80136 1

Greg Barnes Exhibit 5.5 Todd Comments From: Sent: To: Subject: Derek Todd PE [dwtoddpe@outlook.com] Tuesday, February 28, 2017 11:02 PM Greg Barnes Blackstone Filing No.3 Case No. PLT2017-00002 Mr. Barnes, Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments on the proposal for the preliminary plat of 163 lots. A little background first. I purchased one of the last new homes built in phase one of referenced Blackstone Ranch subdivision since the lots were much larger than Coyote Ridge subdivision to the east of Strasburg Rd. built by the same applicant which had too many two story homes in my opinion. All 43 homes in Blackstone Ranch phase 1 are ranch style homes. And I was led to believe during my negotiation with the applicant to purchase my home that once construction resumed in Blackstone Ranch the lot size and ranch style homes would continue to be built. To this date the original Blackstone Ranch full layout is shown on the internet with satellite photography of the streets and cul-de-sacs which was done in phase 1 grading. Unfortunately that's not happening. It now appears that the original density in phase 1 is increasing considerably ~3:1. I was unaware of the phase 2 approval which evidently included hauling in 64,000 cubic yards of dirt. I did go to a HOA meeting which included the applicant where they stated the decreasing of lot size of phase 2 would increase the value of the existing 43 ranch style homes built, taken with a grain of salt. We were also told that the developing of phase 2 would not impact the phase 1 existing homes. They explained that all associated equipment, trucks, contractors, and etc. would access phase 2 site via the third access point west of Strasburg Rd. of off 26th Ave. and would put up signage for implementation. That never happened during the phase 2 site grading infrastructure work. It wasn't until after grading and infrastructure completion that the CDOT signage went up only at the phase 2 points of street connection with phase 1 blocked access into phase two area. Just about every day for nine months tractor trailers loaded with heavy excavation equipment, tractor trailers loaded with dirt, fully loaded concrete trucks, fully loaded blacktop dump trucks, contractors and their crews utilized the main entrance and 1st access point west of Strasburg Rd. coming through the phase 1 residential streets that are weight restricted but neglected by the construction team. When I questioned this with the county building department and applicant representative I received odd answers. Comments: 1. Will the county ensure the permitting process is followed, implemented and ENFORCED for limiting where the associated construction team will and will Not have access (mainly no access to phase 1) by CDOT approved signage with the county enforcing it via county inspectors and engineers? 2. Will the county ensure dirt and dust mitigation enforcement during phase 3? 3. Will the county provide a liaison POC for phase 1 neighbors during phase 3 new grading and infrastructure to resolve problems when they arise? Note the HOA current board mainly consists of the applicant and respective employees. 4. Will the county ensure and enforce contractor trash and construction debris limited to phase 3 area? Note I'm one of the farthest owners from phase 2 area and continuously have to pick up garbage and construction debris that the winds blow onto my lot. 5. I do not concede to the two story homes that will block the views we now have of downtown Strasburg, mountains, farm land, and open space. 6. I do not concede to the reduced lot size to the county's required minimum size. 1

Best Regards, Derek W. Todd, P.E. 2
